Crane Operator Introductory Course

Crane Operator Introductory Course – Jefferson State Community College

Introductory crane operator courses are also available through Jefferson State Community College, offering students more flexible training dates and payment options.

The course is designed for students seeking a career in the construction industry as a certified crane operator. There is currently a shortage of trained construction workers and this course provides an excellent opportunity to gain skills that are very high in demand. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for certified crane operators is approximately $50,000.

What’s more, as of November 10, 2017, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) plans to begin requiring all crane operators on construction sites to be certified. Crane U has developed their own set of training materials specifically for the purpose of preparing students for the nationally accredited written and practical certification exams.Crane U currently uses this proven training method to provide crane operator training courses throughout the United States with around an 85% pass rate.

This five day or six-week course includes classroom lecture-style training, hands-on time outside operating the crane, and written and practical certification exams administered on the final day. There is no prerequisite of previous crane experience or training. To become certified, students need a valid driver’s license and must undergo a U.S. Department of Transportation physical.

Students who successfully pass the written and practical exams will receive their Crane Operator Certification through Crane Institute Certification (CIC), which is valid for five years.

The crane operator certification course will be offered at the Jefferson State Community College campus located at
2601 Carson Road in Birmingham, Alabama.

I highly recommend these guys when comes to getting your crane certifications. I took my test through them on 12-30-16 and passed them all first time. I had Mitchell as an instructor and he done an amazing job of catching everyone up to speed and preparing us for the test. I stressed over it for days but he has great ways of teaching certain things that makes them easy to learn. Thanks for being a great instructor as if wasn't for your refreshing course I would have never passed. You all did great as a team effort and look forward to seeing yall again in 5 years for refresher.
